I think using the tiddler-type field would be a solution here, since it 
wouldn't need to use the 

<$list filter="[all[current]tag[xxx]]">   .... *hack*, to create a custom 
ViewTemplate or / and EditTemplate. So the "WordTemplate" could be much 
simpler.

The TW tiddler-type field is used to specify a MIME-type 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type>. It is possible to create your 
own "vendor specific" (like text/vnd.tiddlywiki) or "personal" 
(text/prs.dictionary) types, but you need to follow some rules.

So a text/prs.dict.word;language=en-EN or something similar, would be a 
possibility to work with a specification as described in the OP. 

The problem is, that we don't have good end-user support for content like 
this in TW at the moment. 

just some thoughts.
